This transcript was auto-generated using AI and may contain misspellings. The Most Important Battle Every human soul has good and evil characteristics. The dark side of the self that suggests evil is called Nafs Ammara Bissu. Getting rid of the evil desires of that lowly self is a spiritual jihad or a battle. Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam said, The one who wages jihad is he who wages jihad against himself. And Umar bin Abdul Aziz called jihad against desires the best form of jihad. Winning this battle requires cultivating sincerity to Allah. True courage, said Sufyana Thawri, is in those who are strictest in controlling desires. And the most important fight in this world is not against other people, but against our own desires and against the devils who manipulate them.
